OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, has denied claims that the company will be launching an AI-powered search engine to challenge Google. However, Altman did confirm that there would be announcements about ChatGPT and GPT-4 at an upcoming event. Reports had previously suggested that OpenAI was preparing to launch its search engine, with speculation that it would rival Google's dominance.

In addition to OpenAI, Google also faces competition from AI startup Perplexity.
